• FRED HOWARD. H.T. (Howard.) 



.— Plant Pat. 1006. All-America 



(&fe\ award winner for 1952. Gol- 



*M? den yellow buds tinted light 



red open to full-bodied, 50 petaled 



blooms of rich buff-yellow, lightly 



brushed with golden orange and 



pink. It blooms freely and the long-lasting 



flowers keep their color well. The plants 



are especially fine: bushy, shapely and 



- even in growth, full foliaged, vigorous, 



reliably disease resistant and of medium 



height. Since it is an All-America winner, 



it has already proved that it does well in 



all parts of the country. This Rose is named for one 



of America's great hybridizers, who also gave us The 



Doctor and other varieties. $2.50 ea. ; 3 or more, 



$2.20 ea. 



• SYMPHONIE. H.T. (Meilland.) Plant Pat. 958. 

 Symphonie is pink, but not like other pink Roses. 

 The color looks as if it were made up of thin layers of 

 the luscious pink over a crystalline silvery tint, with 

 the veins of the petals spreading a fine pattern, like a 

 silken net, of deepest carmine-pink. On the backs of 

 the petals, more of the undercolor shines through, 

 and often the petals flash a slender thread of silver 

 on their edges. It is truly a symphony in pink. 

 Blooms are huge, with 25 to 35 broad, wavy petals. 

 Intensely, deliciously fragrant. Excellent plants, 

 strong in growth, free in bloom. Peace is one of the 

 parents of this great new Rose, which has won the 

 Gold Medal of the National Rose Society of England, 

 and other awards both here and abroad. $2 ea. ; 3 or 

 more, $1.75 ea.
